About 1 year ago, I have a part-time job in a publish company, and my major task is to update our company's news online, and change the company's website style each month. My boss find I always finish my weekly job in 2 hours, so he thought I was been overpaid. So he give me a new case: to build a online work place for this company.
Actually, there was already a work website, it was placed in the company's website, but the only function is to post the meeting schedules. My boss said he want a different tool that can follow each employee's progress of work. I thought it is not a easy job to do, I told my boss I need over 2 weeks to work it out. He feel satisfied with his own idea.
After do some research about this area, I found it is hard to build a complex system, because if the system have a complete architecture, company must to rent a huge database system for it, it is not economic. And my boss maybe crazy if I told him that he need to pay $ 20,000 each year to have this system. So I decide to use some internet applications to achieve the goal.
This publish company have 7 major task departments and a background supply department, So I build a communication system website in company's major server. And it looks like a simple BBS, each task department has a forum (a part of BBS) , and they need to post their daily work process to their own forum, and some information is open to other forum, that others can give advices and find mistakes. But some important information is be kept secret. Only boss can see what is it. Besides it, I build a chart room in company's network, every employee keeps online, and something no need to have a meeting is been talked in this chartroom.
Finish this work, I feel not satisfied, I send this system to my friend, a computer greek. He looked the system about 2 minutes, and said:" It's easy to set up a workgroup on WIKI , and you can apply a MSN work group, they are all free, you do some stupid jobs." FML~~Anyway, It makes my boss feel better about pay my salary.
And at the end that what counts, your boss oppinion and your own satisfaction! The thing that a computer geek can not understand is simplycity that other regular workers can understand and use with ease!
